100um Spacer PS Microspheres PAPS100UM

100um Spacer PS Microspheres PAPS100UM

SHBC PAPS100UM are precision 100 μm polystyrene microspheres developed for bond-line thickness control, component spacing and uniform gap formation.

The spherical polymer particles provide physical support between bonded surfaces. They are suitable for adhesives, optical components, sensors, camera modules, electronic packaging and precision assembly.

Product Specifications

Particle size distribution, solid content, supply form, packaging and storage conditions are provided according to the final product specification and batch Certificate of Analysis.

Key Advantages

Controlled 100 μm Spacing

The nominal particle diameter helps maintain a defined gap between substrates, components and bonded surfaces.

Uniform Spherical Morphology

Regular spherical particles provide stable support points and help reduce local bond-line variation.

Controlled Particle Distribution

Consistent particle sizing supports repeatable thickness control and assembly performance.

Smooth Particle Surface

The smooth surface supports uniform dispersion in compatible adhesives, sealants, coatings and polymer systems.

Lightweight Polymer Spacer

The polystyrene structure provides a lower-density alternative to many inorganic spacer materials.

Consistent Batch Supply

SHBC supports sample evaluation, customized specifications, pilot orders and bulk production.

Main Applications

Adhesive Bond-Line Control

PAPS100UM can be mixed into compatible adhesives or sealants to help maintain an approximately 100 μm bonding gap.

Optical Component Assembly

Suitable for controlling spacing between lenses, filters, glass substrates, optical films and precision optical components.

Camera Module Assembly

Used to control adhesive thickness and component separation in camera and imaging modules.

Sensor Manufacturing

Suitable for optical, pressure and electronic sensors requiring controlled adhesive thickness.

Semiconductor Packaging

Can be evaluated for spacing between chips, substrates and packaging components.

Electronic Component Assembly

Suitable for circuit boards, housings, connectors and components requiring a defined assembly gap.

Smart Glass and Functional Films

Can be used in glass and film structures requiring controlled separation between functional layers.

How 100um Spacer Microspheres Work

PAPS100UM microspheres are dispersed in an adhesive, coating or compatible carrier.

During assembly, the particles form physical support points between two surfaces. Their nominal diameter limits excessive compression and helps control the final separation distance.

The actual bond-line thickness may also depend on:

• Particle size distribution

• Maximum particle diameter

• Microsphere loading

• Adhesive viscosity

• Assembly pressure

• Substrate flatness

Product Benefits

PAPS100UM helps provide:

• Controlled 100 μm spacing

• Uniform bond-line thickness

• Consistent support-point distribution

• Reduced local gap variation

• Improved component alignment

• Repeatable bonding processes

• Customized particle specifications

• Reliable industrial supply

Adhesive Processing Guide

Disperse the microspheres evenly in the adhesive before dispensing, coating or bonding.

Important processing factors include:

• Adhesive compatibility

• Microsphere concentration

• Adhesive viscosity

• Mixing speed

• Dispensing equipment

• Bonding area

• Assembly pressure

• Required support-point density

Gentle mechanical mixing is recommended to minimize air introduction. Avoid excessive mixing that may create bubbles or affect adhesive performance.

Particle Loading Considerations

The recommended particle concentration depends on the bonding area, adhesive volume and required number of support points.

Insufficient loading may result in uneven gap control. Excessive loading may affect adhesive flow, dispensing stability and bond strength.

Customers should evaluate:

• Dispersion uniformity

• Particle settling

• Adhesive flow

• Dispensing performance

• Final bond-line thickness

• Bond strength

• Long-term compatibility

Process validation is recommended before production use.

How to Select 100um Spacer Microspheres

Consider the following factors:

• Target bond-line thickness

• Mean particle diameter

• Maximum particle diameter

• Particle size tolerance

• Adhesive chemistry

• Adhesive viscosity

• Dispensing method

• Assembly pressure

• Operating temperature

A controlled particle size distribution is recommended for precise and repeatable gap control.
